Description

RELATED APPLICATION
This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61/648,463, filed May 17, 2012, incorporated by reference in here in its entirety.
BACKGROUND
Long distance shooters, such as snipers and hunters, have higher effectiveness when they can remain at least partially hidden or undetected while waiting for, and taking, a shot. Their weapons also need to be protected from environmental factors such as moisture, dirt and other contaminants that can affect the operation of the weapon and the accuracy of the shot.
The shooters generally remain mobile until they set up in a spot, and may have to leave their spot on a moment's notice. The mobility and speed requirements means that the equipment they carry must be lightweight, quick to set up and take down, and easy to transport from one point to another. In tactical environments, the shooter may need his hands to operate his weapon to defend himself while on the move. The equipment would generally requires some sort of strapping or fasteners that allow the shooter to mount it on their load bearing equipment, such as a belt, suspenders, pack, or any combination of those elements.
It would be useful for the shooter to have a portable hide or shelter that allowed the shooter to remain undetected for long periods of time and protect shooters and their weapons from the environment. The portable hide or shelter would need to be lightweight, quick to assembly and breakdown, and mountable upon the shooter's carrying gear.

 DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS
FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of a shooter shelter and mat. The shelter and mat are integrated into one item and may therefore be referred to from here on as a shooter shelter. Generally, the embodiments here encompass portable shelters with mats, but the discussion intends for other variations and modifications to be included as part of the scope of the embodiments. These variations and modifications will be discussed in more detail further.
The shooter shelter and mat provides a combined environmental shelter and shooter's mat designed for military, government, law enforcement and sportsmen. The shelter is a waterproof, one-man tent with a removable shooter's mat/sleeping pad. The shelter and mat are backpack compatible, lightweight and of compact size.
In one embodiment the general dimensions of the shelter and mat when rolled and fastened in the carrying configuration are 21 inches wide and 8-9 inches in diameter. The materials used are waterproof or water resistant and the total weight is approximately 5.5 pounds. The material may consist of neoprene, nylon, rip stop nylon, etc. Any lightweight and waterproof material may be used.
In FIG. 1, the shelter 10 consists of a mat 12, a tent portion 14 that erects using a collapsible tent pole, forming an interior compartment 16. In the embodiment shown here, a shooter's veil covers the front of the compartment and a part of the mat that extends beyond the interior compartment as shown, providing cover for both the shooter and the weapon. The veil may consist of many different materials, the embodiment here shows camouflage netting. In addition, the color pattern or camouflage pattern may consist of many different patterns and colors depending upon the environment in which the shooter is operating. The shelter may be used without the poles to form with the surrounding terrain while still maintaining a waterproof barrier. The stake lines used to hold up the tent take a “V” shape to assist the shooter in anchoring the tent. They also can assist the shooter in setting limits on the fields of fire. For example, a shooter may need to define a limit to one side to avoid friendly troops, or a hunter that wants to avoid firing over a road. As will be discussed in more detail later, the shelter and mat also have a carrying component 20.
FIG. 2 shows a view of the shooter shelter when the shelter is manned by a shooter. In this instance, the shooter is wearing a Ghillie suit used by snipers to resemble foliage and allow the sniper to move through woodland areas undetected. The shooter shelter may or may not be used with the veil 18 of FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 shows a side view of the shooter shelter. The opening to the compartment is made here using a collapsible, elastic corded tent pole a portion 23 of which may be visible through the shelter, the tent pole 38 being discussed in more detail in FIG. 8, supported by a front support cable 24. The back will have a similar structure, as discussed further. One should note that other means of supporting the tent portion of the shelter may be used and are considered within the bounds of the embodiments here. FIG. 4 shows a different vantage point to provide a better view of the interior compartment 16.
FIGS. 3 shows a side view of the shooter shelter. The front opening to the compartment is made here using a collapsible, elastic corded tent pole 23 supported by a front support cable 24. The back will have a similar structure, as discussed further. One should note that other means of supporting the tent portion of the shelter may be used and are considered within the bounds of the embodiments here. FIG. 4 shows a different vantage point to provide a better view of the interior compartment 16.
FIG. 6 shows a rear view of an erected shooter shelter and mat. The support cable 22 pulls the rear panel 30 in the opposite direction of the other support cable 22, keeping the tent interior open. Typically, the rear panel 30 will be an integral part of the shelter, having been sewn or otherwise attached to the other portions of the tent, rather than zipped together like the front. However, no limitation to this is intended, nor should any be inferred.

Typically, the rear panel 30 will be an integral part of the shelter, being sewn or otherwise attached to other portions of the tent, rather than zipped to the tent portion like the front.
FIG. 8 shows a closer view of the collapsible tent pole, shown here as 38, where it slides into the pole connector 42 on the bottom of the shelter portion. As will be discussed in more detail later, the pole connector 42 lies adjacent a ground stake connector 43 that allows the entire shelter to be staked into the ground.
FIG. 9 shows another interior view of the shelter. The tent portion 14 forms the roof, with side panels 28 and the mat 12 making up the rest of the shelter. FIG. 10 shows the back portion of the interior with the buckles 48. This is how the shelter appears prior to being broken down and packed. FIG. 11 shows one view of the shelter in its broken down configuration.
In FIG. 11, one can see that the tent pole 38 is collapsed into sections and slid into a pocket 34 integrated into the front of the mat. The tent pole is shown extending from the pocket, but in reality would be completely contained in the pocket. Similarly, the tent stakes 40 are shown extending from a second pocket 36, but will be contained entirely within the pocket. A closer view is shown in FIG. 12. FIG. 13 shows the closed pocket and the one of the buckles 48 that will be used to pack the shelter and mat into its carrying configuration. FIG. 14 shows a more detailed view of the carrying apparatus 20, consisting here of packing and carrying straps.
In FIG. 15, the tent portion has been removed. FIG. 15 shows an overhead view of the mat 12 removed from the shelter. The leg panels 29 extend outward into their deployed position. The arm panels 28 are shown extended. The arm panels may be covered with a non-skid surface to allow the shooter to form a firm platform of his arms for operating the weapon. The tent pole and stakes would be inserted into the pockets, and the side panels folded inwards to form a long rectangle. The mat portion 120 of the mat 12 folds back onto the center section 122 as well. The shelter is then rolled from the left side of the drawing to the right, and fastened in its rolled configuration by the buckles 48, as shown in FIG. 16.
FIGS. 16 and 17 show the shelter in its rolled, or carrying, configuration. The carrying component 20 in this embodiment consists of buckles, straps and a handle. The shelter may be carried by the handle 50, or connected by backpack straps 52 to a shooter's backpack, suspenders or other load bearing equipment. In this manner, a portable, lightweight, quick setup and takedown structure is provided.
FIGS. 18-21 show patterns of the various components of a portable shooter shelter and mat laid out on a standard 61″ roll of material. The components are placed and laid out to maximize the efficient use of the stock and the cutting process.
It will be appreciated that several of the above-disclosed and other features and functions, or alternatives thereof, may be desirably combined into many other different systems or applications. Also that various presently unforeseen or unanticipated alternatives, modifications, variations, or improvements therein may be subsequently made by those skilled in the art which are also intended to be encompassed by the claims here.
